SharePoint: Get multiple or single resource strings using JSOM

SharePoint and Office 365 offer different methods to load resource strings for multiple languages:

JSOM: Increase Item / Document Usage

SharePoint 2013 to 2016 migration: Changed Javascript functions

For some reasons Microsoft has changed the functions in some of the default Javascript files in SharePoint 2016.

For example the CountDictionary function has moved from inplview.js to Core.js and is now called _CountDictionary.

So watch out when moving your solutions or apps from SharePoint 2013 to 2016 because there may be other functions gone missing in your code…

Load Resource file using Javascript

Get ListItem by term guid using JSOM

Last week I showed how to get a ListItem using a terms guid (in combination with the term WSSID) using CSOM. The same approach can be done in JSOM.

SharePoint direct download link and open in explorer link

Sometimes you may not want the users to open a document or file. Instead they should always download the file. In this case you can use the „/_layouts/15/download.aspx“ page. Linking this page in combination with the sourceUrl parameter always creates a file download.
